Information for Alumni & Continuing Education

RISD alumni must present their current RISD alumni card and register for a library account at the Circulation Desk. There is no fee to register for a library account.
Contact Alumni Relations to receive a card.

All CE students have on-site access to the library's collections and online resources.

RISD CE borrowing does not include RISD Media, Brown or Athenaeum Library privileges

Continuing Education Faculty Library Card
CE faculty are issued a red ID card. These cards give the faculty member access to 15 West + borrowing privileges in the Fleet Library. The cards are programmed to expire shortly after the CE session ends. Cards are not issued to faculty who teach very short two or three-day courses. Faculty are asked to keep their cards for future use, either the following summer, or during the regular year should they also teach in Extension. Returning CE faculty will be asked for evidence of current course registration before their card is re-activated.
